Things NOT to do while waiting for professional medical assistance:

DO NOT press on an injured eye or allow the victim to rub the eye(s).

DO NOT attempt to remove a foreign body that is resting on the cornea (the clear surface of the eye through which we see) or that appears to be embedded in any part of the eye.

DO NOT use dry cotton (including cotton swabs) or sharp instruments (such as tweezers) on the eye.
